Expo tree to table

The Hills Orchard Improvement Group has unveiled the 2015 Karragullen Expo theme - "Tree to Table".

An annual event held on Old Station Road, Karragullen, this year it's on Saturday, October 10.

"Tree to Table" aims to give the general public information on the processes by which stone fruit, pome fruit and avocados are grown and processed on the way to the consumer point-of-sale.

HOIG will offer the public unprecedented access to an orchard site in bloom and with fruit on the trees. They will also see the grading, packing, storage and transport facilities associated with fresh fruit production.

A free bus service will be available on the day of the expo, which will transport interested attendees at 11am and 2.30pm for the orchard visits.
